I have to think this team as currently constructed isn't really even a contender for the 8th seed if Deron hadn't helped get us to 31-26 before he was traded. We're 5-7 since the All-Star break. 6 out of the 12 games (exactly half) since the break have been against above 500 teams and we've only beat 1, Philadelphia. Even with a top 5 pick next year is set to look even more bleek than this season and I'm not sure we're even in the playoff discussion next year.
